Stephenville, Texas Mass Sighting

Dozens of residents in Stephenville, Texas reported a large, silent object with bright lights moving at low altitude. Witnesses included a pilot, a county constable, and several business owners. The US Air Force initially denied having aircraft in the area, then reversed course and acknowledged F-16s from the 457th Fighter Squadron were conducting training flights that evening. MUFON investigators obtained FAA radar data through FOIA that showed an object on an intercept course with President George W. Bush's Crawford Ranch. The case attracted international media coverage and was reported by CNN, ABC, and the Associated Press.
